Garden Mariotte

The area known as the Batignolles, close to Montmartre, has a real village feel, far from the bustle and noise of the big avenues. It has a bobo (Bourgeois Bohemian) atmosphere, with convivial and trendy restaurants. The nerve centre of the quarter is located at the Eglise des Batignolles, not far from the Square des Batignolles. This 70 sq metres or 753 sq ft apartment on the second floor walk up, has views to a pretty garden courtyard. 

A large living room with a sofa bed and separate dining room with open kitchen makes sharing this apartment very easy. There are two bedrooms with queen size beds. Optionally, the master bedroom can have two single beds instead of the queen. The second bedroom is off the master bedroom but can also be reached via a corridor off the living room. The apartment contains two toilets - one in the main bathroom with a walk-in shower and sink (accessible from the living room or the second bedroom) and the other, off the dining room, has its own sink. The apartment would suit two couples, up to six adults or a family with three children. The sofa in the salon can be converted to a bed for up to two people. 

The flat is a few minutes metro or bus ride to the Arc de Triomphe and to the top of the Champs-Elysées. The area is prized by Parisians as it has shops, restaurants and two parks - Parc Monceau and the closer, smaller Square des Batignolles with duck pond and children's play area. The closest metro is Rome, less than 5 mns away, and you can also use metro Place Clichy, about 10 mns away. The 94 bus takes you directly to St Germain des Pres, a short bus ride to Montmartre, the 'Grands Magasins' (Galeries Lafayettes and Printemps), and Opera. Gare St Lazare is three stops away. The Marais can be reached directly on line 3 at the next metro stop 'Villiers'.
